From yesterday's picket: inspiring speech from Robyn Orfitelli (University of Sheffield) encouraging us to stay out and stay strong, because ours is an ethical fight!

Leicester University UCU, who are today taking their 27th day of strike action over redundancies, send solidarity from their picket line to unions in Minnesota. Those striking today in Minnesota, challenging the racist onslaught by ICE, stand in the finest union tradition.
Your fight is our fight.

Union condemns continued docking of staff pay following strike action at University of Sheffield The University and College Union (UCU) has today condemned the lockout and withholding of staff pay at the University of Sheffield following lawful industrial action

The University of Sheffield has stopped paying staff.

Not for striking but for refusing to work unpaid to make up for strike days they were already docked for.

This is punishment, not negotiation. And it’s completely reckless.
